On a clear day in the little town of Ponyville, we find numerous of the happy go lucky citizen's mare, stallion, filly, and non equine alike enjoying there day with positive attitudes and cheery expressions all over their faces. There wasn't a single sign of a bad day from anyone on town it all seemed like a good day for every single member of the community, all except one unicorn that is.....................................................................
We find Twilight Sparkle the town librarian, (former) element of magic, and (former) student of the sun goddess Princess Celestia sitting gloomy and pissed off in her room silently cursing the events that transpired in Canterlot last week. The pain in her heart grew deep as that painful memory of her so called loved one's betraying her all over a royal wedding of her old foal sitter Cadence and her former BBBFF continued to play in her head. Wiping away her tears for the hundredth time since she got back our young unicorn wondered why no one took her side after her outburst in the wedding hall. She saw everything the imposter Cadence AKA Queen Chrysalis did to her brainwashed older brother, but not one person believed her they all just thought she was being overprotective and jealous. But worst of all Shining Armor berated her in his own word's not by the changeling queens brainwashing and even banned her his own little sister from the wedding, her friends and young assistant followed suit as well and just walked passed her pissed not saying a word, and her own mentor expressed her own disappointment and abandoned her as well not even caring that tears started to form in her eyes. To make matters worse after everyone left the imposter trapped her deep underground in the forgotten cavern's of Canterlot, fearing that she would never be found she eventually reunited with the real cadence and together the two friend's made it out of the Cavern's and made their way towards the wedding to stop the imposter.
As they made their way towards the wedding hall they were relieved to find the ceremony hasn't started yet but Twilight couldn't help but growl slightly as non of her friend's, spike, brother ( who was currently under Chrysalis brainwashing) or Celestia looked the least bit worried that she was missing and simply went on ahead without her and what's more insulting with smiles on their faces. But Twilight simply brushed this aside ( for now) as Cadence revealed the identity of the changeling queen. After a brief introduction Celestia engaged in combat with the imposter who quickly defeated the sun goddess with ease, everyone went over to check to see if she was alright all except Twilight who just watched showing the least bit of sympathy and worry. Celestia then instructed them to grab the element's of harmony from the royal vault to fight back against the invaders. At first Twilight showed no interest in helping the eight traitors but she reluctantly agreed to help ( for the last time) After a brief struggle against the many changelings plaguing the city our six heroes made their way back to the wedding hall ready to take down the Changeling queen. What made the situation worse was when the queen boasted about how each of them abandoned Twilight when she was trying to warn then and that they showed no concern over their friend, riddled with guilt Applejack tried to apologize on behalf of everyone to Twilight. But Twilight insulted that Applejack was the only one apologizing just up and told her to SHUT UP bringing shocked look's from the five of them including Spike and Celestia who was still trapped in her cocoon.
As Chrysalis continued to gloat and nourish her soon to be victory Cadence finally managed to break her fiance free of his brainwashing, and together the couple using the power of their love created a powerful force which successfully drove Chrysalis and her army of changelings out of the city and putting an end to the invasion. Everyone in the entire city citizens, royal guard's, and shop keepers cheered at the city being saved from the evil changelings, however one was in no mood to be cheerful. Twilight who kept the same disappointed look on her face since the defeat of Celestia just stood in silence as the eight ponies plus a dragon fully realized why she was so pissed and lashed out at Applejack earlier and Shining Armor felt the worst of all abandoning his own little sister and straight up banning her from his wedding like a heartless monster. Each one of them tried to apologize to her but again she simply just brushed them off all while feeling insulted at the fact that they believe a simple apology can fix any of this................................................................
Flashback
Do you cowards honestly believe a bullshit apology is enough to make up for the harsh word's and the abandonment you put me through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!? Twilight roared nearly scaring everyone in the room.
" Twily please calm down and listen" Shining armor jumped in trying to calm his little sister." Your right I was a fool to believe anything that insect said, I've known Cadence for year's and I should have seen through Chrysalis's disguise as I knew the real Cadence would never act like that. But in the end I was a reckless fool who fell for her trap and because of my stupid mistake I almost lost you and everyone else I cared about and I'll never forgive myself for it"
"Well good for you" Twilight said unusually calm. " BECAUSE YOU ALREADY LOST ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I refuse to be associated with you traitors anymore, you can take our once friendship, teaching, and the element of magic and shove it I QUIT!!!!!!!"
After making her statement, everyone had look's of shock and sadness on their faces at the fact that their friend was not only renouncing her friendship with them but she was also renouncing her position of the element of magic and as Celestia's student.
"Twilight Sparkle please don't do this" Celestia jumped in." I know your upset at us and maybe we do deserve it but you cant sit there and tell me your gonna leave behind your friendship and the element of magic? Without the magic element the others wouldn't be able to combat towards the next threat and friendship will literally be destroyed without it's power"
" Oh I see now" Twilight replied. " You only need me for my power's you don't care about me, I'm just your scapegoat to stop any threat that you could have just done yourself!"
"That's not true!" Celestia screamed. " I do care about you Twilight, I loved you like my own daughter I never once thought of you as just a pawn!!!!"
"Cut the crap Princess!!!! " Twilight shot back ." After today I find it pretty hard to believe you actually care about me. All the times you and I spent together when you took me in as your student were the happiest moment's of my life but now I see you were just using me so that one day I would solve all your problems for you while you just sat on your damn throne and watched! And when I screwed up or even failed to stop a threat from happening you would just straight up ditch me and find someone else to be your little servant"
Celestia just hang's her head in shame at her student's words. as much as she want's to continue pleading with twilight that what she said wasn't true and that she does care about her, she knew Twilight didn't want to listen to or believe anything she said to her. And given the harsh word's she said to her at the wedding rehearsal she doesn't blame her student one bit for being so hostile towards her and everyone else.
"You told me that I have a lot to think about princess, well today I have thought about something.................. wanna hear?" Twilight said with a hint of cold sarcasm. "
Dear Princess Traitor
Today I learned that friendship is bullshit. It's nothing but a waste of time and emotion, all friends do is use you and pretend that they like you just to use you for their own selfish desires. And when your no longer of use for them or do something to piss them off, they up and ditch you like a broken tool. And that's just how I felt about everyone in this room, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie the elements of Honesty, generosity, kindness, loyalty, and laughter. But after today they should change them to filthy liar, selfishness, evil, egotistic, and irritating. Non of you showed the least bit of sympathy for me in the wedding hall and you up and went on ahead without me with damn smiles on your faces! And honestly I'm surprised you all learnt nothing from that Lesson Zero incident and out of all you traitors I expected at least Spike, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and maybe even Dash to have my back. But in the end you all are just as evil as that damn insect and every other Adversary we faced. Each and everyone of you is terrible and I regret ever moving to Ponyville in the first place and meeting all of you horrible ponies only to have you stab me in the back and abandon me when I was only trying to save your sorry ASSES!!!!!!!!! I finally realized now that making friends is a big waste of time cause sooner or later they'll just abandon you. So I came to a decision...............................I'm done with friendship, I'm done with all of you. Have a nice life knowing you lost the one pony you THOUGHT you cared about.
Sincerely
Twilight Sparkle AKA The former element of magic
As Twilight made her statement, the others couldn't hold back their tears anymore. The memories of them saying those hurtful word's and abandoning her played in their head's more and more and they openly cursed themselves for falling for Queen Chrysalis's trick and betraying the one pony whom they were proud to call their friend. But now it's too late and she want's nothing to do with them anymore, and it's all their fault. Cadence who's been watching the entire time while silently disappointed at what they and especially her fiance did to Twilight at the rehearsal, but seeing the hurt and remorse in their eyes made her realize that they regret everything they've done and wish that it never happened. But seeing Twilight in this state , not even her love magic would be enough to heal this broken mares heart. After a moment of silence Twilight began to make her way towards the exit.
"I'm done with all of you" Twilight said coldly." If you want to continue on with this stupid wedding be my guest, but I want nothing more to do with you traitor's"
As she was about to make her way out the door , a hoof stopped her.
"Twilight please don't leave" Cadence said stopping her. " Look I know your angry and you have every right to be, but I know your friend's are truly sorry for what they've done. Please don't just cut them out of your life forever, just at least hear them out and give them a chance to explain themselves before you do something you'll regret"
But before she could continue Twilight slapped Cadences hoof off of her shoulder.
"It's too late Cadence, much too late" She coldly replied."If you want to marry that asshole then be my guest, but I want nothing to do with it"
As Twilight once again made her exit Cadence once again placed her hoof on her shoulder in an attempt to stop her from leaving.
"Twilight please..............................." Cadence pleaded making Twilight growl slight.
"GET OFF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight screamed and then slugged Cadence right in the eye nearly sending her flying. Twilight stared in shock at her old friend on the ground clenching her swollen right eye as Shining and Celestia rushed to her side. Twilight's mind filled with regret at the thought that she just attacked her oldest and closest friend, but her regret soon turned to silent anger as she stared at the group.
"See what you traitor's made me do? She said coldly as tears started to form. " Now cadence is gonna hate me and abandon me as well, I hope you guy's are happy"
With nothing more to say Twilight teleported out of the wedding hall, as the entire group hanged their head's in shame at the fact that they might have lost their friend forever and that nothing would ever fix it.
present
Twilight continues to openly curse them for their harsh treatment towards her, she looks down at the shredded up scrapbook on the ground consisted ( or was consisted) of pic's of her friends, family, Celestia, and Spike. She also looks to the shattered picture frame of the group pic she and her former friends took on her first day of Ponyville, but what caught her eye the most was the shattered picture she took with her personal assistant and little brother figure Spike. Ever since she came back to Ponyville alone Spike hasn't returned home for a few day's. While she was disappointed and angry at him for abandoning her as well she couldn't help but worry as to where he might be. A part of her wanted to go out and look for him and ask around if anyone's seen him but she chose to just isolate herself not wanting to bump into those five traitors, no doubt they've arrived home as well and she wanted nothing more to do with them and the fact that she placed a shield spell all over her house so no one would bother her, and to leave her in peace which is what she did all week long. All while hoping that Spike would return home by himself eventually.
Six days later
We now find our young unicorn continuing her self isolation inside her magically barricaded house. Throughout her isolation, she's been living off the ration's in her fridge and pantry and was slowly starting to run out of food. Hungry and tired a part of her wanted to go out to restock on groceries especially since Saturday was usually bargain day at the supermarket. But she again refused to go outside and risk running into those five even if it meant starving herself to death. As for Spike he still hasn't returned home, while she was disappointed that he abandoned her as well Twilight couldn't help but worry at the fact that Spike's been missing all week and her worry soon turned to fear at the fact something might have happened to him. While a part of her desperately wanted to go out looking for him she again didn't want to risk running into those five mares. Speaking of her "friends" Throughout the week her mind has been clouded with many of the memories she, spike, and the girl's shared before the dreaded wedding incident from the picnic's, parties, birthday's, helping out with the apple family reunion, the sleepovers, shopping, and cheering each other up when one another is feeling down. And it wasn't just the girls she also reminisced about the happy times she spent with her older brother and her mentor. Having sleepovers in the castle, Shining beating the crap out of Twilight's old bullies, Celestia helping Twilight master a difficult spell, She and Shining spending time together along with Cadence, comforting his lil sis whenever she had a bad dream, Celestia aiding Twilight whenever she got sick, Celestia inviting the entire Sparkle family over to the castle for dinner, and the times she and Shining played together in the park. As these memories continued to play in her head Twilight couldn't help but shed tears at the fact that she might have lost her loved ones forever, while she was still upset at them a part of her missed each and every one of their companies. Our young unicorn wanted nothing more but for thing's to go back to the way they were but she knew it would be nearly impossible after her little outburst. Our young unicorn wanted nothing more but to bring each and everyone of her loved ones together into a group hug all while wondering what she was missing.
As Twilight continued to silently weep at the loss of her friend's and family, She noticed that the town had been unusually quiet today. Our young unicorn ushered up the courage to look out the window to find that the street's were practically a ghost town with not a single mare, stallion, filly, or other creature in sight. Twilight wondered where everyone could possibly be today as the sun hasn't set yet. She begins to wonder if something happened to the town while she was isolated or if the entire town evacuated and she didn't know about it due to her locking herself inside her house.
"Where is everyone?" She thought as she wiped to tears from her eyes.
After surveying the street's she found the light's of town hall on in the distance. And realization soon hit that everyone in town must be in there. No doubt Mayor Mare must have called everyone in for an important town meeting, Twilight couldn't help but feel guilty as she could be missing out at an important speech from the mayor that could range from anything from an illness outbreak, tragic death, a threat approaching town, or maybe something to do with Spikes sudden disappearance . After a moment of debating Twilight finally mustered up the courage to finally step outside of her house for the first time all week. She then stepped downstairs and toward the from door, after a moment of hesitation Twilight focused her magic and removed the magic shield around her house and opened the door as the sunlight shined in her eyes despite it nearly being dawn out. It felt weird to the young mare to be outside again after a week of isolating herself from the outside world, but she quickly brushed passed this and made her way towards town hall but not before closing and locking the door behind her.
As she made her way towards town hall Twilight surveyed the many homes and shop's around town and surprisingly found not even a sign of light coming from any of em. No doubt this had to be an important meeting if everyone in the entire town wasn't home. After a short trek she soon found herself at her destination, as she was about to open the door she heard mysterious murmuring coming from the other side of the door and wondered what kind of meeting was going on in there? After hesitating again Twilight finally opened the door and stepped inside the town hall building, and to her surprise found the whole building dark devoid of any light.
"What the hell's going on?" She thought. " What kind of town meeting requires all the lights to be turned off?
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Came an orchestra of voices as the light soon turned on and Twilight soon found herself surrounded by every citizen in town. She then looked around to find the entire Town hall was set up for some sort of party. She surveyed the building to find numerous tables full of snacks, food, drinks, and baked goods, streamers all over the walls, numerous hand drawn pictures scattered all over that strongly resembled her cutiemark, and a big banner hanging from the Ceiling that read " Welcome Back Twilight" in bright purple which instantly made her realize the party was all for her.
" We're so happy you finally came out of your house" Comet tail said as he and a few of the other party guest walked towards her.
"We've been worried sick all week at the fact that something might have happened to you" Mr Cake replied as his wife walked over as well with their kid's in hoof.
"We're just so happy your ok" Mrs Cake said warmly.
" When I saw that you haven't opened the mail i sent over to you all week, I was worried that something might have happened to you" Derpy said.
" I nearly had a heart attack at the thought that something might have happened to you when you locked yourself in your home all week old friend" Octavia said.
"Happy to see your alright buddy" Bulk Bicep's replied.
"Amen" Thunderlane jumped in.
"Thank god your ok Twilight"Lyra said.
"We thought you'd never come out of you house" BonBon replied with a slight chuckle.
"Glad to have you back Twilight" The CMC said in unison.
" We missed ya" Dr Whooves said as he wrapped his hoof around Derpy as they both showed their gratitude and relief that their friend was alright.
"But we're not the only ones who are happy to see you" Mayor mare jumped in"
Twilight while happy that everyone was worried about her all week she couldn't help but wonder at what Mayor Mare meant in her little statement and wondered who else despite the entire town was worried about her, suddenly she found herself face to face with non other than the main five, Shining Armor, Cadence, and Princess Celestia walking towards her with depressed look's on each of their faces. A part of her wanted to high tail it out of there after seeing the seven ponies who betrayed her, but the young unicorn found herself standing still and there wasn't even a frown or angry expression on her face. It was all blank and confusing, after a moment of silence and the crowd giving them the space to talk one of them finally spoke.
"Hi Twilight" Fluttershy said in a sad tone. " I know we're probably the last ponies you want to see, especially after what we've done. But we're just happy to see you again and that your alive and well"
" She's right Sugarcube" Applejack replied also in a sad tone. " I know your pretty pissed off at us and why wouldn't ya be. We've been terrible friend's lately and honestly we deserved that lil lashing ya gave us last week"
" This parties all for you Twilight" Pinkie said as her normally puffy hair remained flat. " I know your probably thinking that this is a petty bride to earn your forgiveness, but it's not. I realized that parties can't always solve problem's , this parties just to show you that we still care about you even if your angry at us. Even though were not on the greatest term's at the moment I still hope you enjoy the party"
Twilight then thought for a moment, while she was upset at what they've done to her she did show a little gratitude for this well planned out party and was silently happy that they at least showed that they still cared about her.
"Well , I do appreciate the party Pinkie.......................................... thank you. " She said with a blank expression. " You sure know how to execute a good part as usually"
"Actually Twilight" Pinkie interrupted. " For once this party wasn't my idea, It was actually someone else's idea to throw a
Even though you hate our gut's we just wanted to show you how much we care party
" Wait this partry wasn't your idea Pinkie?" Twilight asked. " Then who's idea was it?"
"Well" Pinkie said quietly with a small grin." Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Just then a familiar young dragon popped up from behind Applejack and looked at his older sister figure with a look of nervousness and depression, all while Twilight remained visibly shocked at the sight of the one family member of hers who's been missing all week long....................................Spike.
"Hi Twilight" Spike said nervously." Do, do, do you lllliiiiiiikkkkke the party?"
"SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Twilight shouted and then ran over and brought her little brother figure into a big hug.
"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL WEEK???????!!!!!!!!!! She asked worryingly." I WAS WORRIED SICK, I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I didn't want to go home with you after you left" Spike said with tears slowly starting to form as Twilight continued to embrace him." I figured that you wouldn't want me in the same house as you after I took part in betraying you, I just couldn't stand the fact that you hated my gut's and didn't want to be around me. And I don't blame you, I was a terrible assistant and little brother to you twilight. We should have defended you I should have defended you, but I didn't I went along with everyone thinking you were just throwing a jealous tantrum. But I let my stupid instincts get the better of me. So I stayed at Applejack's all week thinking that you didn't want me in the same house as you after what I've done. I've been helping out with the chores, harvesting, sale's, and making the apple family product's all while thinking of a way for not only me but for everyone to make it all up to you. So on Friday i came up with a plan to throw a party to show that even though you'll probably never forgive us but to show that we genuinely still care about you. Wait you were worried about me?"
"OF COURSE I WAS!!" Twilight replied. " Just because I was mad at you that doesn't mean I want you to leave or disappear! I was so scared all week, I thought you have gotten kidnapped, lost, or worse tried to kill yourself. My heart shattered into a million pieces at the thought something might have happened to you"
"But I was such an ass to you at the wedding rehearsal twilight , sorry for the language" Spike said sadly. "Why would you still care about me?"
"Because your my family!" Twilight replied. " Look Spike once again just because I was mad at you that doesn't mean I want you to disappear. When i hatched you from that egg I treated you as family, you and me may not be related or are the same species but your still my little brother and nothing will ever change that, but don't ever and I mean EVER run away like that again regardless of how mad I am at you do you understand me !?"
After her lecture Spike's tears began to flow down more and more at the thought that Twilight was worried about him, even though she was angry at him she was still worried at the fact he went missing all week.hearing all this made him realize that he didn't deserve someone as amazing as Twilight, after a moment's hesitation Spike finally broke down and cried loudly on his big sisters chest.
" I'm sorry Twilight!!!!!" He sobbed loudly. " I was a terrible excuse for an assistant/brother, I should have stuck by your side and comforted you. But I didn't I abandoned you as well when all you were trying to do was protect us, I'm a monster I don't deserve someone as amazing as you as my family. I should have died during the Changeling invasion cause it's what I deserved for hurting you. I didn't believe you I thinking you were just being jealous and now look what my instinct's done to me. I lost you forever and I don't blame you for hating my gut's, I am a terrible dragon who's selfishness drove the one mare I loved as a big sister away and what's worse even though you still hate me you were still worried about me when I vanished all week! I don't deserve you Twilight, I don't deserve your forgiveness, I don't even deserve to be part of your family. I'm an evil despicable dragon I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...........................................
As Spike continued to cry on her chest repeating "I'm sorry" over and over again, Twilight couldn't help but feel her heart break seeing Spike like this. Breaking down on her and thinking that she hate's his guts and want's him to go away broke her heart, sure she was angry at what he's done but she doesn't want him to disappear. But before she could comfort her little brother the others walked up to her with thing's of their own to say to her.
"Spike's not wrong you know Twilight?" Applejack began. " We don't deserve you either sugarcube, you were right we have been terrible friend's to you and honestly it's a miracle we've made it this far despite all the negative effect's throughout our once friendship. I would want nothing more but for things to go back to normal and to be friends again, but I know that's never gonna happen. Back at Canterlot the reason I was the only one who apologized was because I'm the one who told everyone to check on the imposter and I felt it would only be fair since i instigated our abandonment towards you, but in the end that was a coward's way out and I've hated myself for even executing a bullshit apology like that out of my mouth. If my ma and pa were alive and they found out what I did , they'd be so disappointed in me and I wouldn't blame them. I'm a terrible excuse for an Apple and as the element of honesty cause honestly I was a terrible friend and I don't deserve someone as amazing as you, I know you'll probably never forgive me sugarcube but I just wanted to let you know that if you want nothing more to do with me or the apple family I understand and no matter what I'll still think of you as my friend even if you don't believe this Filthy liar"
"Twilight I'm a poor excuse for a mare" Rarity jumped in. " I can't believe I stooped so low and did something so horrible to you, I'm a poor excuse for a mare. Walking out on you like that instead of comforting you was unlady like and upright rude of me, It went against everything my mother taught me about manners and showing respect towards someone. I just up and walked past you like you were a broken piece of jewelry and i will never forgive myself for that. I'd end my entire fashion career, hell I'd even shave off my own mane if it means making it up to you. I'm a disgusting pony who doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as you as my friend. In the end I was only thinking of myself and not you. I only thought about my brides made position being corrupted by your sudden outburst instead of taking you seriously and look what's happened. I nearly lost my little sister and Canterlot was almost taken over by those hideous insects all because I thought of myself instead of my friends warning's. You were right all along twilight I am Selfish and I don't deserve someone as wonderful as you as my friend"
"I'm a stubborn idiot Twilight" Rainbow dash replied looking glum not even bothering to hide her tear's. " I was supposed to represent the element of loyalty, but in the end I was only loyal to myself. I should have stuck by your side and had your back but I didn't I let my ego get the better of me and I upright abandoned you like an asshole. I always protected my friend's from bullies and wouldn't let anyone mess with them, but in the end I was the bully because I didn't listen to a word you said and treated you like a waste of my time. I should have had your back, I should have comforted you, I shouldn't have abandoned you. But I did and I will regret it for the rest of my life, some friend I am huh? You know Being in the wonderbolt's has always been my dream and I would have loved to be part of the team and to help them perform after the wedding, but I don't care about all that anymore. I'd give up my dream if it meant having my friend by my side again, hell I'd even punch myself in the face if it meant seeing you happy again. i know this is gonna sound BS but I'm sorry for ditching you like that Twilight, If you don't want to forgive me I'm cool with it cause I'm just an Egotistic asshole who doesn't deserve you as a friend"
After Dash made her statement Fluttershy walked up to speak, looking nervous while trying to find the right word's to say to her friend.
" I" She began slightly stuttering." I, I, I, IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. I CAN'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I'M SO SORRY TWILIGHT, I'M AN EVIL MARE WHO DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE, I'M NO BETTER THAN THOSE BULLIES FROM FLIGHT SCHOOL. I HURT YOU I DESERVE TO DIE!!!!!!!!! I'M, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY........................................................."
Fluttershy said nothing more and just collapsed on the floor crying her eyes out while Rarity and Dash walked up and comforted the poor mare as Twilight looked visibly sad at the poor mare breaking down on the floor . Pinkie then walked up to speak to Twilight as her mane remained flat and dark.
"Hello Twilight" She began. " Again this party is not and I mean NOT an attempt to earn your forgiveness. We just wanted to show you that we still care about you and that we regret ever abandoned you, I should have at least tried to cheer you up instead of walking past you, I was a mean mare who chose a fun wedding and after party over one of my best friends. I know now that parties cant always solve your problems no matter how much time and effort you put into it, I know now that parties aren't the answer to everything and I have to grow up and except that my parties cant always fix any problem's or mend broken wound's. i know there's no way for me to make this all up to you especially with what I've done and I'm super dooper sorry Twilight, I don't expect you to forgive me and I don't blame ya I'm just an irritating mare who only enjoys parties and planning out parties instead of comforting her own friend's"
As pinkie finished her statement the sun goddess herself walked up to her former student.
"Twilight Sparkle my most faithful student or former student" She began sadly. " Word's cannot express how much I regret hurting you the way I did. I've always loved having you as my student and I loved you as if you were my own daughter. But my hurtful word's at the rehearsal drove you away from me just like how I drove Sunset Shimmer away a year ago. All the times you saved everyone and put your life on the line to protect the ones you love made me regret having you do everything I could have done myself, all those threat's I could have helped but I didn't I thought it was only fair to have you deal with all the problem's in order to teach you about responsibility and to protect your loved one's. But in the end that was selfish of me and because of my horrible moral's you were nearly killed by that horrid Queen and her army of Changelings and I'll never forgive myself for it. I'm a poor excuse for a princess Twilight who literally puts her students on the line instead of aiding with the problems myself, I should have taken responsibility for my actions and dealt with the many threat's. And I'm a poor excuse of an aunt to my niece because I couldn't tell her apart from the queen, I loved Cadence, when my brother and his wife died years ago I promised to look after her and treat her as my own daughter. but in the end I betrayed her and I almost got her killed over my poor judgement. For what it's worth Twilight Sparkle I am deeply sorry for my harsh word's and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me someday"
With nothing else to say Celestia just held her head in shame and weeped quietly as Luna and Cadence walked over and rubbed her back trying to calm her down and comfort her. Just then A familiar blue haired guard walked up to Twilight with the biggest depressed look in his eyes which outmatched the hurt look's in the other's eye's.
"Hi Twilight" He said quietly and nervously.
"Hi shiny" She replied. However she noticed his neck was bandaged up slightly and had a few hint's of red marks on it.
"What happened to your neck?" She asked.
"I uh had an accident" He said nervously.
Twilight then thought about what he said and wondered what kind of accident would mess up his neck so badly like that, but she soon realized what he meant by "accident" and finally put two and two together.
"Shiny did you try to hang yourself?" She asked.
After a moment's hesitation Shining armor wasted no time and simply gave her the answer, not even bothering to try and hide it.
"Yes" He said as tear's started to form in his eyes while Twilight remained visibly shocked. " That's right, I tried to kill myself Twily. I hurt you my own sister so badly with my harsh word's all because I jumped to the conclusion that you were just jealous. I was so furious that you were trying to hurt Cadence verbally that I didn't want you anywhere near her, so I made the worst mistake of my life...............I cast you out of the wedding. A part of e felt bad for saying those harsh words to you but I was so clouded with anger that I simply brushed it aside like an ungrateful asshole, and what's worse those were my words not from the queens mind control spell. Before the wedding I was gonna go find you and apologize but then that damn insects mid control spell soon kicked in and I never got the chance, that is until her defeat. You were so furious at me that you wanted nothing more to do with me, and I didn't blame you one bit I was a monster even mom and dad were furious at what I did. I was so clouded with guilt that I felt i didn't deserve to be in this world anymore after the pain I've put you through and the fact that I lost you forever. So I've been trying to kill myself all week, however Cadence and Luna managed to stop me three times this week. And when i tried to hang myself off the balcony on Wednesday the two of em put me on suicide watch after I was released from the hospital with a serious but not fatal neck wound from the rope. After that Cadence has been trying to comfort me all week saying that it wasn't my fault and that I deserve to live in this world, but I knew that was a lie. I hurt you my own little sister from my selfish behavior Twily, I fell for that bitches manipulations and It almost cost the lives of not only you but my one true love and I'll never forgive myself for it. Twily I Am so very sorry for what I've said to you, I don't expect you to forgive me I am nothing more but a thoughtless coldblooded asshole who hurt his little sister and nearly drove her to insanity, If you want to hate me for the rest of your life I understand and I will always love you even if you don't love me anymore. But please I'm begging you forgive your friends, our little brother, and Celestia I'm the one who instigated it I'm the only one you should hate for the rest of your life. Please Twilight hate me not them I deserve to rot in a grave for my harsh action's please, please, please, please....................................."
Shining Armor said no more and collapsed on the ground in a sobbing mess as all the partygoers looked on feeling sorry for the depressed guard, Princess and the mane 5. Twilight said nothing as Shining continued to cry on the cold floor, her heart shattered into a million pieces at the thought of her brother trying to kill himself out of guilt thinking that he deserved it, while she was upset at him for his harsh word's she didn't want him dead because of it but he think's she does. She also surveyed her friends , little brother, and Celestia looking at Shining with tears and looks of guilt of their own. Twilight saw deep into their expressions and found that they were genuine, these weren't crocodile tears these were real tears of sadness and regret, That's when she knew that they really did care about her and regretted everything they've done to her and that they truly love her. Fresh tears started to form in her eyes as various happy memories of her loved ones soon clouded her mind and she knew exactly what she wanted and what was missing.
As he continued to cry his eyes out, Shining armor found a pair of hoofs wrapped around his neck into a loving embrace and soon mustered up the courage to look at who was hugging him, and was surprised to find his little sister who he has hurt deeply embracing him passionately and with a smile on her face and tears.
"Twily?" He sniffed. " Why are you............................................
"Shiny please just....................................... stop" She replied with a sniff of her own. " I forgive you, all of you" he others remained shocked at what Twilight just said to them. She's forgiven them even after what they've done to her at the rehearsal.
"But why?" Shining asked ." I hurt you so badly with my harsh word's Twily, how could you possibly forgive me and everyone else so easily?"
"Because Shiny, while you words did hurt more than the others abandoning me I can't really blame all of you for this" She replied. " I went a little overboard myself when I barged in there announcing that she was an imposter. I should have brought proof and planned it out first before just running straight in there like a crazy person and look where it's got me"
"NO TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!" Fluttershy shouted. " We're the ones to blame not you! Sure you did go a little overboard , but we should have taken you seriously and heeded your warning especially with your track record of pointing out the obvious"
" But I should have handled the situation a little lighter" Twilight replied. " Look guy's I see know that your not terrible ponies, sure what you've did to me was wrong and will haunt me for the rest of my life, but I did wrong myself during the rehearsal. And i know now what I was missing this whole time...................................I was missing all of you, I love you guy's and I missed your company even though you hurt me. I want to move forward and try to put this incident behind us once and for all, I don't want to be your guy's enemies I want to be your Friend, BLSFF, and Student again I dont want to be clouded with isolated darkness anymore."
A big smile soon formed on Shining armors face and with nothing more to say he returned the embrace to his sister with tears of joy pouring out like a fountain as twilight continued to hug her BBBFF. and soon the others along with Cadence and Twilight's parent's ( who've been surveying the entire conversation) followed suit and brought Twilight in for a group hug as Mayor mare and the partygoers cheered at the reconciliation scene between Twilight and her loved ones. Twilight felt like the happiest mare alive to be surrounded by everyone she's ever loved and to be by their side again, but her expression soon changed as she saw Cadence looking at her with a smile her blackened eye long since healed.
"Cadence I...................................." Twilight began apologizing until Cadence stopped her.
"It's alright Twily , I know you didn't mean It I love you nothing will ever change that" Cadence said in a warm smile." Also me and Shiny rescheduled the wedding for next Saturday and we were wondering if you would be our best mare?"
Twilight then thought for a moment before giving her answer.
"You got yourself a best mare you two" She said happily as Shining and even cadence breathed a sigh of relief." But on one condition"
"Sure twily what is it?" Shining armor asked.
"If I sense another evil queen coming to ruin the wedding, try to take me seriously this time ok?" She said with a slight chuckle.
There was a short silence in the room before Shining armor burst out laughing along with Celestia, Luna, Spike, Cadence, the mane five, and the partygoers at Twilights hilarious statement. Soon she found herself into another group hug by her loved ones who continued to laugh along with her. after a few minutes the group hug ended as twilight made another statement.
''Now enough sadness you guy's" She announced with a smile. " LET'S PARRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
Everyone in the audience cheered especially pinkie who jumped up with joy as her poofy hair returned to normal, and soon the festivity began as Everyone mingled with their friends and loved ones but no one was more happier to be here than Twilight. While this dreaded incident wont go away anytime soon she could rest assured that she still had her loved ones by her side and hopefully one day , they could look back at this dreaded incident and have a good laugh about it.
Later that night after the party
We find Twilight inside her home drifting away into a deep sleep after today's event's. This week has been quite a doozy with all this stress in her head, but she was happy to have fully reconciled with her loved one's and hopefully their bond of friendship will remain strong and never fracture again.
As the moon light illuminated through her window, we find the now repaired scrapbook and picture frames on her night stand full of all the happy memories of her friends and family standing proudly on the little table, on the center we find a more recent frame of the group photo she along with Spike, Luna, cadence, Celestia, her parent's, Brother, and her friends took at the party with look's of happiness on each of their faces.
At last she finally found what she was missing
